Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a dynamic profession that presents many opportunities to promote health and provide rehabilitation through clinical practice, education and critical inquiry.

The Physical Therapy Department at the University of Mississippi Medical Center has been preparing physical therapy clinical practitioners who have become effective members of the health care teams in their communities since 1973. Over 1,500 graduates are helping to make a difference in the lives of countless clients and patients in Mississippi, and the world.

Since the beginning faculty, students and alumni have created new and innovative ways to provide education and care. At UMMC, students have the unique educational advantages afforded by being on Mississippi's only health sciences campus and a part of the only Doctor of Physical Therapy program in the state.
